About Kura Sushi

Kura Sushi is an innovative, high-growth Japanese revolving sushi concept utilizing proprietary technology to drive exceptional restaurant-level economics across major U.S. markets. As a tech-forward tenant currently executing an aggressive national expansion, Kura Sushi offers a unique "Kura Experience" that serves as a powerful traffic driver for high-profile retail environments. The brand’s site selection strategy prioritizes high-visibility locations within premier mall inline spaces, lifestyle center end-caps, and select free-standing pads in both urban and suburban trade areas. With a flexible physical footprint typically averaging 3,400 square feet (ranging from 1,600 to 7,920 square feet), the concept integrates seamlessly into a variety of leasing configurations alongside high-traffic anchor tenant partners such as Tier-1 grocery brands and luxury lifestyle retailers. Real estate directors and tenant rep professionals target trade areas characterized by a highly educated, diverse population with above-average household incomes. By combining authentic Japanese cuisine with patented conveyor belt technology and gamified guest interaction, Kura Sushi provides landlords with a stable, credit-worthy tenant that maintains a competitive edge in the casual dining sector through superior sales-per-square-foot performance.
